After forcing the Baltimore Colts to trade him to Denver this summer, No. 1 overall draft choice John Elway faces the music today, returning to Baltimore as the Broncos visit the Colts. Elway is met by an unrelenting chorus of noise and verbal abuse the entire day from the warm-ups until game’s end. It gets so bad that Elway can hardly call plays at the line of scrimmage and is removed from the game with Denver trailing, 10-3. Substitute quarterback Steve DeBerg leads the Broncos to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and Denver wins, 17-10.
